The steps I took were to close gnus down. Get cvs updated, then rename ~/News/agent to ~/News/agentX and restart gnus, having uncommented (gnus-agentize) in ~/.gnus. First thing I noticed was that our gnu had shed his red coat and grew a white one.... Has that been changed or is this the first indicator of some local screw up? Other things seemed to be working, and the needed directories: agent and sub directories were created, except no agent/lib appeared. I thought maybe that only happened if I did something with the agent category interface (`J C' in group buffer) So proceeded to call `J C' in group buffer. There I see the expected default:0 So pressing `p' to edit the predicate, I see `nil', so I enter `true' and remove `nil'. Attempting to save that edit buffer gives this back trace: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument consp nil) setcar(nil true) (lambda (predicate) (setcar (cdr ...) predicate) (gnus-category-write) (gnus-category-list))(true) gnus-edit-form-done() call-interactively(gnus-edit-form-done) Creating the News/agent/lib directory by hand doesn't help. I get the same backtrace Can anyone confirm that there is a problem there? Or is it something local?
